Introduction
This humidifier is designed to provide relief from dry air discomfort in local-
ized areas, such as bedrooms, dens and other rooms for a total area up to
1,100 square feet where humidity is needed. This product is not intended to
humidify a whole house.
Your Bemis by Essick Air evaporative humidifier adds invisible moisture to
your home by moving dry inlet air through saturated wicks. As air moves
through the wicks, the water evaporates into the air, leaving behind any
white dust, minerals or dissolved and suspended solids. Because the water is
evaporated, there is no messy mist or spray and no white dust, just clean and
invisible moist air.
As the evaporative wicks trap accumulated minerals from the water, their
ability to absorb and evaporate water decreases. We recommend changing
the wicks at least once a year, preferably disposing of the used wicks at the
end of the humidifying season and starting with new wicks at the beginning
of the next humidifying season. In hard water areas, more frequent replace-
ment may be necessary to maintain your humidifier's efficiency.
Caution - We recommend using Bemis by Essick Air Bacteria
Treatment whenever you refill the water bottles to eliminate
bacteria growth. Follow the directions to determine the proper
amount to be added to the 1.6-gallon water bottles. The wicks
do not require the use of chelating agent type water treatments
that are intended for use in Rotobelt or Water Wheel type
humidifiers.

5) Change the evaporative wicks at least once a year. In extremely hard
